Catch .44 to Show Bruce Willis in Another Action Thriller: First Poster

Marketed by Sierra Affinity, Catch .44 is the last action thriller for actor Bruce Willis and a slew of cohorts. Also starring are Forest Whitaker, Malin Akerman (Watchmen), Deborah Ann Woll ("True Blood") and Brad Dourif (Fading of the Cries). The first film poster is available for Catch .44 and in the graphic there is a message: "if you are going down, take them with you." The graphic is comic book styled and the synopsis is larger than life, as el jefe (the boss) lures three "female assassins" in for one last mission. Charlie's Angels anyone? A specific release date has not been announced, but expect Catch .44 in theatres in 2011.

A look at Willis' career over the last five years and into future roles shows that this silent but charismatic actor might be in danger of being type cast as an action star. Willis has several action films coming up including: Die Hard 5 (2012), G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2012) and The Expendables 2 (2012). As well, recently Willis has starred in several other action films e.g. Red (2010), Cop Out (2012). That is not such a bad thing when you are making millions per film. However, this reappearance in one genre does show a lack of range. Whatever happened to Willis' more comedic days of "Moonlighting?" As well, Willis' films have garnered billions of revenue dollars for film studios, but it would be nice to see Willis try something outside of his comfort zone. Maybe Willis will step out of his usual role in 2013's Kane & Lynch. Oh wait, that is another action movie. Nevermind. Enjoy a preview of Catch .44 below.

Director/writer: Aaron Harvey.

Producers: Randall Emmett, Megan Ellison, Michael Benaroya, Robert Ogden Barnum, Matthew Budman, Michael Corso, Cassian Elwes, George Furla, Brandon Grimes, Anthony Gudas, Andrew Harvey.

*Willis is actually a German born actor, but raised in New Jersey.
